Adaptive Behaviors in High-Functioning Taiwanese Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: an Investigation of the Mediating Roles of Symptom Severity and Cognitive Ability / Chen-Lin CHANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-6 (June 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-6 (June 2013) . - p.1347-1355 Titre : Adaptive Behaviors in High-Functioning Taiwanese Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: an Investigation of the Mediating Roles of Symptom Severity and Cognitive Ability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chen-Lin CHANG, Auteur ; For-Wey LUNG, Auteur ; Cheng-Fang YEN, Auteur ; Pinchen YANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1347-1355 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Adaptive function  IQ  Symptom severity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We investigated the relationship among cognitive level, autistic severity and adaptive function in a Taiwanese sample of 94 high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (mean full scale intelligent quotients FSIQ = 84.8). Parents and teachers both completed the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System-II and the Social Responsiveness Scale. Correlational and regression analyses were used to explore the relationships among the constructs of cognitive, symptomatic and adaptive domains. Results revealed that average General Adaptive Composites of these children (home: 74.0; school: 74.6) was below average FSIQ. Profile analysis revealed that Social domain was the weakness among the adaptive abilities assessed at school and home. Cognitive abilities had positive relationship with adaptive function, while autistic severity had a weak negative relationship with adaptive function. Also, the younger the age the child got diagnosed, the less severe the current symptoms of autism were. The implication for emphasizing adaptive skills intervention was discussed.

Autism-risk screening in the first 3 years of life in Taiwan Birth Cohort Pilot Study / For-Wey LUNG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-4 (October-December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-4 (October-December 2011) . - p.1385-1389 Titre : Autism-risk screening in the first 3 years of life in Taiwan Birth Cohort Pilot Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : For-Wey LUNG, Auteur ; Tung-Liang CHIANG, Auteur ; Shio-Jean LIN, Auteur ; Bih-Ching SHU, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1385-1389 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : M-CHAT  TBCS developmental instrument  Autism spectrum disorder  Community-based Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : To increase public awareness and sensitivity, a two-stage screening with a community-based approach is proposed, with the use of the broadband Taiwan Birth Cohort Study (TBCS) developmental instrument in the first stage and the narrowband Modified Checklist of Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) in the second stage. Thus, the purpose of this study was to use the M-CHAT as the lead criteria in the investigation of whether the TBCS developmental instrument can be used in first-stage detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at 6, 18, and 36 months. The TBCS dataset, which included 1783 children in the first stage, 1620 in the second stage, and 1630 in the third stage was used for this study. The M-CHAT and the TBCS 6, 18 and 36 months’ developmental scales were collected. Using the M-CHAT, 292 (18.0%) children were screened out as being at high risk for ASD; using this as the lead criteria, the cutoff points of 65/66 for the 6 months’ scale, 42/43 for the 18 months’ scale and 51/52 for the 36 months’ scale, with negative predictive values of 83.44%, 84.21% and 85.35%, respectively, were established. With the cutoff points, TBCS developmental instrument can be used as a community-based first-stage screening instrument at 6, 18, and 36 months. Early diagnosis and intervention optimizes the long-term prognosis of ASD and also decreases family stress. Follow-up of these children and further evaluation using standard diagnostic assessments will help us in understanding the accuracy of the TBCS developmental instrument and M-CHAT use in the community.

Disparity in report of autism-related behaviors by social demographic characteristics: Findings from a community-based study in Taiwan / Peng-Chou TSAI in Autism, 21-5 (July 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 21-5 (July 2017) . - p.540-551 Titre : Disparity in report of autism-related behaviors by social demographic characteristics: Findings from a community-based study in Taiwan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Peng-Chou TSAI, Auteur ; Rebecca A. HARRINGTON, Auteur ; For-Wey LUNG, Auteur ; Li-Ching LEE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.540-551 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Social Communication Questionnaire is one of the most commonly used screening tools for autism spectrum disorder. The Social Communication Questionnaire is a caregiver-reported questionnaire with 40 items based on questions from the Autism Diagnostic Interview?Revised. This study collected Social Communication Questionnaire data from a community-based, multi-stage case identification design epidemiologic study in one socioeconomically disadvantaged county in Taiwan. The Social Communication Questionnaire was distributed to 3034 school children, aged 6?8?years. Item prevalence results indicate males were reported to have more autism-related behaviors than females (higher prevalence on most items), in the whole study sample as well as in children meeting Social Communication Questionnaire clinical cut-offs (?15). Children whose biological fathers completed the Social Communication Questionnaire were reported to have more behavioral issues than children whose biological mothers were the respondent. Lower respondent education levels were associated with reports of clinically concerning autism-related behaviors. However, males were not at higher risk of meeting Social Communication Questionnaire clinical cut-offs than females in this study population. Findings from this study help to better understand reporting patterns on children?s autism-related behaviors potentially due to social demographic characteristics and child sex, which may lead to improved identification of these behaviors.

Twenty-six children with autism of normal IQ were included, and matched for chronological age with 52 controls. The WCST scores of the typically developing children were significantly higher for categories completed and percent conceptual level than in the autism group. Scores on perseverative responses, perseverative errors, the number of trials to complete the first category and non-perseverative errors were significantly higher in the autism group. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Urban and Education Disparity for Autism Spectrum Disorders in Taiwan Birth Cohort Study / For-Wey LUNG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-3 (March 2017)

The Taiwan Birth Cohort Study dataset was used (N?=?20,095). The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) cut-off point of 13/14 was considered optimal for screening of children at 66 months. More children were diagnosed with ASD in urban areas. Parents of children diagnosed with ASD had a higher level of education, but parents of children with a lower level of education were screened as being at higher risk of ASD. Urban disparity and parental level of education effected parental awareness of the illness and the rate of ASD diagnosis.
